jill....my thots(your word) on "split runs" splits really change nothing, but i think the average retail investor views it with dollar signs....splits (too many)as in dell are harmful to the share price as it creates immense float..... i look purely at overbought/oversold conditions, and any events that can create real or artificially these conditions. if you look at a tern chart it was on its way to filling the downward gap around 95 the day before gilder not so new announcement....this "event" caused a spike and inflated premiums through implied volatility... if you are merely selling puts, you care not about the actual share price, just the bias....it is all relative in percentage return on capacity....if you are buying leap calls and you believe in the stock, then most times are okay for ditm, as they are minimum marked to market.....the risk is with high prem for dotm....the dotm should be bought at oversold times....
